They're all in that position on 1500s. If it has a spiral-wrapped spring-like thing over it, it's actually a tube, and your gauge is mechanical. Otherwise it's electric. I >think< they made the chan

Hate to burst your bubble, but (a) the 210 conversion is only for the A-block engines (up through the 1275cc), and (b) the transmission needed for that copnversion is from a 210, >not< a B 210 (comm
